This insect is fairly abundant everywhere north of the desert, but is not 

 much seen as it is very sluggish of flight. Hartert found it even south of 

 Ghardaia on Zizyphus bushes in oueds in the stony desert. The Tring series 

 from Maurctania of 606 is very variable as regards size, and the extent 

 of or suppression of the black and red markings of the forewings. Those 

 specimens where the black spots are almost or quite suppressed and the red 

 strongly augmented are ab. bicolor Oberth.
